What do you call our "dietary restrictions?"

Hello all!
I recently moved into my sorority house (I'm in college), and often we have to all make a list of our "dietary restrictions" (such as an allergy to gluten or peanuts, or vegan) and I'm at a loss of what to put. What do you say in situations like this?

low carb? Small portions? I'm not sure what categories they have or what foods you can tolerate but even a diabetic diet may have the high-protein, healthier-carb options that are good for RNYers.

Low sugar definitely especially if you dump.

Well, what are your dietary restrictions? If I was asked, I would say vegetarian and no sugar.

I commend you for moving into the house at such a delicate time. When I lived in my sorority house there was no way I would have been able to stick to a diet of any kind. There were nights when we had toast for dinner. Just toast. Nothing else.

I think that I would go with the diabetic diet angle. High protien, low carb. Can't go too wrong. Good luck and let us know how things work out. What sorority?

I often say "diabetic-like." when asked to explain I say high protein, low carb, no sugar.

Thanks for the responses! I am a Tri-Sigma, and I know what I can eat, and I sent my list of foods to the catering company that provides our meals, I just never know how to describe the way I eat. But low carb high protein is probably the best way.
Thank you all!
